We love making zipper bags with our favorite fabrics and bet you do too! Not only are they a great way to use the gorgeous fabrics in your stash, they are fun, functional, and make great gifts! These zipper bags are great for holding things like sewing and quilting supplies, art supplies, cosmetics, small electronics like e-readers, and more!

Today we're sharing a video tutorial that will show you exactly how to make a zipper bag of your own - no pattern needed. Kimberly and guest Sherri McConnell will walk you through the steps, so pull up a chair and get ready to make something stitch-tastic! What will you put in your Simple Zipper Bag? (The fabric requirements are listed in the video, and will also be listed in this post at the very bottom, for your reference.)

Bonus! We have several example bags made by FQS staffers to share so you can see just how cute these bags are in different fabrics, so keep scrolling down to the bottom for lots of ideas! Oh, and not only do we have fabulous fabrics, should you need some, we also carry the same type of zipper that Sherri mentions and uses in the video!

The icing on the cake is the projects our sew-along bloggers have created in their own styles, so be sure to visit their blogs below for even more inspiration!
